On the 5th of June 2025, the award ceremony of the 35th State Olympics in Physics of the State of Brandenburg took place at the IHP - Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics. 53 pupils in grades 7 to 12 from 12 different schools prevailed in two qualifying rounds and demonstrated the…
NY CREATES and Fraunhofer IPMS announced at a signing ceremony a new Joint Development Agreement (JDA) to drive research and development focused on memory devices. The JDA will leverage and link the strengths of each organization to engineer, develop, and characterize these devices that are critical…
Whether in medical technology, quantum technology or semiconductor production, optical systems are an integral part of many high-tech applications. To ensure that lenses, mirrors and other components meet the highest requirements, manufacturing needs processes that combine precision, efficiency and…
RNA-based medicines and treatment methods open up a new dimension in modern medicine. Despite their potential, RNA-based therapies are faced with major challenges: The instability of RNA and its rapid degradation in the body, combined with the necessity of ultra-cold storage or encapsulation, mean t…
From 2035, the Einstein Telescope will be able to study gravitational waves with unprecedented accuracy. For the telescope, researchers from Jena have manufactured highly sensitive sensors made entirely of glass for the first time.
Gravitational waves are distortions of space-time caused by extreme a…
Laser-driven fusion power plants are considered a key technology on the road to climate neutrality. Highly reflective and thermally stable mirror systems are crucial for these fusion power plants in order to transport the laser light from the beam source to the tiny capsule of fusion fuel. In the ne…
Das Jahr 2025 beginnt vielversprechend – das neue Fraunhofer-Leistungszentrum Einzelzelltechnologien LZ-EZT nimmt zum 1. Januar seine Arbeit auf. Es soll eine zentrale Anlaufstelle im bio-med-tech-Gravitationszentrum Rhein-Main/Rhein-Neckar werden, die durch komplementäre Expertisen der Partner i…
Researchers at the Center for Life Sciences at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have for the first time identified structural changes in the botulinum neurotoxin, botox for short, that are believed to be crucial for its uptake into nerve cells. This could mean that the paralysing effect of this poten…
Am Freitag, den 13. Dezember 2024, besuchte Staatssekretär Tobias Gotthardt aus dem bayerischen Wirtschaftsministerium das Würzburger Fraunhofer-Institut für Silicatforschung ISC und das Fraunhofer-Projektzentrum für Stammzellprozesstechnik. Der Termin war bereits seit geraumer Zeit festgelegt…
The pilot line for “Advanced Packaging and Heterogeneous Integration for Electronic Components and Systems” (APECS) marks a major leap forward in strengthening Europe’s semiconductor manufacturing capabilities and chiplet innovation as part of the EU Chips Act. By providing large industry play…
